Retail Unit adjacent to Minsterley Garage, Station Road, Minsterley – 12/02351/COU
Change of use from A1 to A5 Hot food takeawayDecision: REFUSED – contrary to the officer’s recommendations for the following reasons:

It is considered that the proposed change of use is likely to generate significant business and vehicle movements at sensitive times of the day, as an A5 use was over and above the currently permitted A1 use of the premises tied to the existing convenience store at the site As a result, given that there is no clear evidence that the limited parking on site will be available to customers of the proposed takeaway, it is considered that the proposal would be highly likely to have an adverse impact on the amenity of neighbouring residential properties and on highway safety, as the lack of parking provision on the site to meet the demand could potentially lead to inappropriate parking on residential streets, on the A488 and in the bus stop lay-by adjacent to the premises. Consequently it is considered that the proposal fails to accord with the requirements of adopted and saved Policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core Strategy.

Erection of a two-storey side extension, single-storey rear extension including insertion of rooflight, conversion of roof space including insertion of rear dormer window and rooflights to front elevation.Decision: APPROVED – in accordance with the Officer’s recommendations
